  1. Renewable Energy Sources in Upper Austria Christiane Egger O.Ö. Energiesparverband Landstraße 45 A-4020 Linz, Austria T: +43-732-7720-14380 office@esv.or.at www.esv.or.at ESV-Design 041012en

  2. Oberösterreich - Upper Austria Population: 1.38 mio Area: 12.000 km² GNP: 30.400 billion € Final energy cons.: 260 PJ 33 % renewables (88 PJ) Unemployment: 4 % economic activities: industry, service sector, tourism ESV-Design 041012en

  3. O.Ö. Energiesparverband • Information and public awareness • Energy advice • European projects • Energy certification for buildings • Training • Third party financing • Research and pilot projects • OEC - green energy network • Objectives • Energy Efficiency • Renewable Energy Sources • New Technologies • Organisation • Regional Energy Agency • Services for private households, public buildings & companies • Set up in 1991 • OPET, FEDARENE, EUFORES Services ESV-Design 041012en

  4. The energy strategy of Upper Austria • Energy Strategy (1994-1999) • Energy 21 (2000 - 2010) • First results: • increase of renewables from 25 % (1994) to > 30 % (2002)(14 % hydro, 14 % biomass, 2 % solar & others) • reduction of energy consumption in new domestic buildings by 30 % • industry energy consumption decreased by 2 % /a • 10,000 jobs • New targets (2010): • doubling biomass heating installations & solar thermal • 30 new companies, 1500 new jobs • 15 new energy R&D projects/a ESV-Design 041012en

  5. Biomass technologies used in Upper Austria log wood boilers wood chip boilers wood pellets boilers biomass district heating ESV-Design 041012en

  6. Biomass in Upper Austria capacity in MW > 1 MW 100 kW - 1 MW < 100 kW Upper Austria • 14 % of total energy consumption • 17,500 biomass heating installations • 200 district heating plants • > 100 municipalities use biomass for heating ESV-Design 041012en

  7. Examples & success stories • automatic wood pellet heating systems • biomass district heating networks • domestic solar ESV-Design 041012en

  8. Biomass in Upper Austria capacity in MW > 1 MW 100 kW - 1 MW < 100 kW target: doubling till 2010 ESV-Design 041012en

  9. Solar thermal in Upper Austria cumulated Upper Austria 2003: 0,49 m²/inh. Upper Austria 2010: 0,72 m²/inh. Austria: 0,34 m²/inh. Germany: 0,057 m²/inh. EU15: 0,034 m²/inh. target: doubling till 2010 in 1.000 m² ESV-Design 041012en

  10. Promotion of the market development of renewable energy sources Goal: Doubling biomass and solar installations "Create demand" • Energy hotline • energy advice • Publications • Financial support • Legal measures "Meet demand" • Training & education • Research & demonstration • Third Party Financing • Oekoenergie-Cluster ESV-Design 041012en

  11. Oekoenergie-Cluster Upper Austria 139 companies • 71 % producers/suppliers of renewable technologies • 23 % planners • 6 % R&D institutions & others • from the following sectors: • Solar energy (thermal/PV) • Biomass / Biogas • Wind energy • Heat pumps / Geothermal • Small hydro power • Energy efficiency technol. • Third party financing • Turnover: 270 MEuro • Employees: almost 2,300 • Export share: > 50 % • Network objectives: • support business development of the partners • foster increased co-operation among partners & with R&D organisations 041012en ESV-Design

  12. Benefits for the region of Upper Austria • Less imports ~ 1 billion Euro/a • Jobs in a growing market sector > 25,000/Austria • New professions > 100 in education • Technological innovation > 80 R&D projects • Export opportunities > 50 % export rate • Regional investment (2003) > 60 mio. Euro (2003) • Creating local identity 1,400 "shareholders" of wind power plants ESV-Design 041012en

  13. The end of the oil-era? 1999 2001 oil-heating 36 % 8 % renewable energy technologies 62 % 32 % ESV-Design 041012en
